Join us in Jesus’ invitation to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless and welcome the stranger among us. It's an event like no other, and we want you to be there! This five-day session, hosted every July in conjunction with Catholic Charities of Arkansas, gives teens an opportunity to put the Catholic social justice lessons learned each day into action through “hands-on” experiences serving others, earning 40 hours of community service during this program. We will have daily moments for prayer and reflection, including daily Mass, and an evening of Eucharistic Adoration and confession.
This event is available on a first-come basis. Please sign up as soon as possible to ensure your spot. Space is limited. The cost is $250 per person. Register online. If you prefer to pay by check, download and return the registration form to the address provided by June 12.
